LEKATO Overdrive Pedal, Vintage Overdrive Guitar Pedal, Blues Drive Pedal for Electric Guitar and Blues Music, True Bypass, 9V

Great pedal at a great price, good tone, not exact but will get you in the ballpark, used to drive a tube distortion pedal and it sounds great.

For an economic compressor this thing sounds great!Plenty of head room, great sustain, works perfectly!I’ve had much more expensive compressors that did sound this good!Well done !

I need to start this review with a couple of disclaimers. First, I am primarily a bass player who also plays guitar. I’ve been playing both for over 50 years, but now I just noodle around with my guitar at home for my own enjoyment. Second, I have never done pedals. No special reason, I just never had any guitar pedals. But I have acquired a couple and am having fun with them.Having said all that, this seemed pretty cool, so I ordered it from Amazon. Since my favorite music genre is Blues, it seemed like a natural to me. It seems to be well made with a sturdy aluminum case. The knobs work smoothly and the jacks give a nice secure feel when the cords are plugged in. The footswitch seemed to take a little extra effort, but I was using my hand to press it because I had it sitting on top of my amp while testing. There are two small rubber pads and two Velcro pads supplied but not applied allowing you to use whatever works for your application. It has a jack for the standard 9v DC power supply that most pedals seem to use.As typical with these devices, the instructions that came with the pedal really don’t have much information on how to use it, just showing the names of the controls and other features. The three knobs are Drive, Level, and Tone. As far as I could tell, the Level basically controls volume, the Tone is exactly that, and the Drive controls the amount of overdrive.Since the Amazon description states that this pedal “emulates the warm and natural overdrive tones of vintage amplifiers” I tried this pedal out through my Peavey Bandit 112, which is a solid-state amp with no tubes. I’m not sure that the pedal exactly gave me a Deluxe Reverb tone, but it did seem to have a nice bit of overdrive that seemed compatible with the Bluesbreaker name of the pedal. Keep in mind I am not in the same ballpark (or the same planet) as SRV or EC so I really couldn’t give this this pedal the best test. But I did have fun with this pedal and the price seems reasonable for what you get

It's a winner for that price. Very effective. Sounds good.

This compressor pedal has knobs for attack and sustain. I couldn't really tell any difference when adjusting these knobs other than they changed the gain. If you're looking for something to increase the volume from the guitar to the amp this is good. It does introduce a lot of background noise when I turn it up though. Maybe it's just my guitar, but I don't know. You will need a 9 volt adapter to plug this pedal in. It doesn't use a battery. It's ok, but not great.

Small, but works great.

I just bought a Lekato B Breaker pedal a few days ago. Tonight it actually bumped my Boss BD-2 Blues driver off my main pedal board. This Blues Breaker clone sounds very nice into either a Fender Deluxe or Vox AC-30 amp sim. The overdrive is very natural and balanced, very "transparent". More neutral than the BD-2. It is also a more neutral overdrive than an OCD or Tube Screamer.Note that in all cases, the above comparisons were based on using each overdrive as a low to medium gain boost into a Fender Deluxe or Vox AC-30 amp sim (where the amp sim is set mostly clean, just barely into breakup). I cannot speak to each pedal's usefulness for high-gain applications.This is my first Blues Breaker style pedal. I can see why they are so ridiculously popular. This pedal has whet my appetite for a higher end Blues Breaker style pedal. The Morning Glory is looking more tempting all of a sudden.Build quality seems good (but I've only had the product a few days).

A 9v power supply is needed to use this. The power supple was not supplied. very poor
